Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for eliminating model errors of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors. Background technique
[0002] Currently widely used wavefront sensors include shearing interferometers and Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors. Shearing interferometers were widely used in early adaptive optics. In 1974, J.W.Hardy et al. first used transverse shearing interferometers to measure the wavefront phase distortion affected by atmospheric turbulence; in the later period, Shack-Hartmann wave Front sensors are gradually becoming the most commonly used wavefront sensors in adaptive optics systems. For example, the SWAT wavefront sensor established by Lincoln Laboratory in the United States in the late 1980s.
[0003] The reason why the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor is widely used is that the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor has many advantages that the shearing interferometer does not have. The shearing interferometer has low light energy utiliza...
